Re: Initiate SSH session from other side?

Ok, thank you! This means that it is enough to have autossh running on
the inside (work) computer since one can manually enter the command :
homebox$ ssh -p 6666 workusername@xxxxxxxxx
from home?

Yeah.

The use of having autossh running on the home computer would be to save
the work of entering the command
homebox$ ssh -p 6666 workusername@xxxxxxxxx
manually?

No. The use of autossh on the work computer would handle the "what
if" of if the ssh session got dropped due to an intermittent
connection over the remote link, then the ssh session would get
reestablished from teh work computer to home computer (and its
corresponding reverse home->work port forwarding). This would
eliminate the need to run ssh in a crontab on the work computer.
